| Student Evaluation of Thesis Advisor |
We urge your participation
in evaluating your experience with your thesis advisor.
A form is provided for you to evaluate your thesis advisor.
We will file these evaluations for future use by first
and second year students who are looking for a project
and research advisor.
The
results will be kept anonymous, and any feedback to the
individual faculty member will be made over a three to
four year interval and will be a summarized statement,
not involving reproduction or direct quotes from this
form.
These evaluations
have been immensely valuable to students initiating thesis
projects. Please return the form to the Office of Student
Research, ESH 310. Thank you for your cooperation
in this effort. |
